SWEET VIOLETS

I sure never saw anything blossom
so fast ! ( and still haven't.) This is

last year's crop and such a favorite
of mine to look at and think of my

mother, Mary and her mother, Letitia.

Listen to them:

Letitia: "May-ree, go out side
n' pick a bunch of those sweet violets

for the center of this angel cake for

Aunt Cora. She's coming up from

the island for a visit"

----then in later years,

Mary: "Jill, go out and see

if there's any violets for Nana's

place at the supper table."

and now

Jill: "Kimberly, don't drive

over the violets with the mower !"
